SSSA PRESIDENT’S WELCOME

Dear SSSA Colleagues:

I am delighted to welcome you to the 88th annual meeting of the Southwestern Social Science Association. We are convening in Las Vegas, Nevada, for the first time. I very much appreciate the contributions of Lydia Andrade, our site selection director, and convention director Peter Wielhouwer in tending to innumerable details in preparation for our meeting. I hope all of you find your stay here to be profitable.

Our theme for this year’s meeting is “Place Your Bets.” We want to highlight and reflect on the array of approaches, complementary and competing, we utilize within and across our disciplines in our common efforts to understand, explain, and even predict human behavior. Our general program chair, Tracy Dietz, working with our affiliate representatives, has assembled an impressive group of panels. Please take full advantage of the offerings in your areas of interest and expertise. Additionally, I encourage each of you to attend sessions outside your comfort zones to avail yourselves of alternative perspectives and concerns of our colleagues.

Please reserve time in your schedule for our plenary session on Thursday afternoon. Dr. Howard Silver, executive director of the Consortium of Social Science Associations, will be delivering the keynote address. Dr. Silver ably aggregates and advocates our professional interests with national policy-makers in Washington, D.C.

Also, be reminded that our general business meeting agenda on Friday afternoon will include a motion to create the position of executive director for our organization. Our decision on this vote will have enormous consequences for our future as an association. We want and need your participation.

Please reserve time to visit our exhibitors’ booths. Thanks to the labors of exhibits and publisher relations director Eddie Weller, we can view a wide variety of publications and communicate face-to-face with publishers’ representatives about our teaching and research interests.

iii

Finally, I want you to disregard the aphorism, “what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.” Rather, I want each of us to return to our campuses and offices with fresh insights and revived energies to advance the contributions of the social sciences.

Sincerely,

Hal Bass

Harold F. Bass President, 2007-2008

Dr. Silver serves as the Executive Director of the Consortium of Social Science Associations (COSSA) in Washington, DC, a position he has held since 1988. The Consortium, supported by over 110 professional associations, scientific societies, universities and research institutes, promotes attention to and federal funding for the social, behavioral, and economic sciences and serves as a bridge between the research community and the Washington policy making community. Dr. Silver previously served COSSA as its Associate Director for Government Relations from 1983-88.

Prior to joining COSSA, Dr. Silver was a consultant for legislative and political research, a political campaign manager, and a legislative analyst in the U.S. Department of Education. He has taught political science and public policy at a number of colleges and universities. Dr. Silver came to Washington in 1980 as an Institute for Educational Leadership Policy Fellow.

Dr. Silver has testified before Congress, spoken at many professional meetings on federal funding of science, and written extensively on executive-legislative relations, the federal budget process, and science policy as it affects the social and behavioral sciences. In 2001, to celebrate the Consortium’s 20th Anniversary, he co-wrote and edited, Fostering Human Progress:

v

Social and Behavioral Research Contributions to Public Policy. He recently published “Science and Politics: The Uneasy Relationship” in Open Spaces magazine (Vol. 8 Number 1).

Elected by his science policy colleagues, Dr. Silver served from 1994-2000 as the Chairman of the Coalition for National Science Funding (CNSF), an ad-hoc advocacy group with membership from scientific and engineering societies, higher education associations, and industrial groups. A tribute to his leadership of CNSF appeared in the November 1, 2000 issue of the Congressional Record. In 1998, he was elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

He is a co-founder of the Association for the Accreditation of Human Research Protection Systems. In 2006 he became the President of the National Capital Area Political Science Association, after serving on its council. He was on the planning committee for the 2004 Gordon Research Conference on Science and Technology Policy. From 1998-2000 he served on the Council of the American Political Science Association (APSA) and has twice served on the Executive Committee of the Council of Professional Associations on Federal Statistics.

Dr. Silver received his Ph.D. in Political Science from The Ohio State University in 1975. A native of New York City, he obtained his B.A. from the City College of the City University of New York in 1969.SSSA AFFLIATES’ BEST PAPER AWARDS

SO 44: LATINO MUSIC SCENES IN HOUSTON: AN ETHNOGRAPHIC MAPPING

Panel Organizer: Joseph A. Kotarba, University of Houston Participants: Jennifer Fackler, Kathryn Nowotny, Lindsey A. Wilson, Gianncarlo Muschi, Anita Cortes, and Laura Bermudez, University of Houston

This panel will discuss findings from an ethnographic study of the great varieties of Latino music produced, performed, experienced and celebrated in the Houston, Texas metropolitan area. Symbolic Interactionism views of culture as a social process that provides meaning for people’s self-identities and the everyday issues and problems they face. Music has been an especially important feature of Latino culture, since it informs migration, citizenship, spirituality, and other aspects of the contemporary Latino experience. There are numerous Latino communities in Houston (e.g., Mexican-American, Guatemalan, Costa Rican, Caribbean, Spanish, Columbian, and so forth) that make this a sociologically rich location for this study. A bi-lingual and bicultural field research team has organized this study in terms of the following dimensions: geography, generation, ethnicity, gender and social class.

Moderator: Jerome Rabow, University of California - Los Angeles Participants: Leonard P. Granick, CEO & Research Head, NCI Inc. - Las Vegas Jerome Rabow, University of California - Los Angeles Pauline Yeghnazar, New York University

The session builds off a paper which argues for a type of teaching that engages and transforms a set of attitudes, stereotypes, and behaviors. It is an empirically based documentation of shifts in attitudes and behavior in two transformative teaching classes that used a control group of six more traditionally taught classes. Portions of a 43 minute video on the teaching of this class called “Voices of Pain Voices of Hope” will be incorporated. The video illustrates the kinds of work necessary to engage students and to effect behavioral change in the direction of social justice during a course taught by Rabow at UCLA.

Garrick Harden, Texas A&M University - College Station Keith Kerr, Quinnipiac University Ilan MItchell-Smith, San Angelo State University James Dean Steger, Texas A&M University - College Station Christopher M. Sutch, William Penn University

This roundtable takes up the question of the relationship between contemporary culture and power--or “introjections”, through an investigation of contemporary scholarly sites such as gender, race and ethnicity, globalization, new technologies and communities, and, lastly, popular culture. Contributors investigate how power deploys the informality of culture across multiple sites to influence, program, control, or dominate individuals and groups of people. Discussants look at contemporary global and transnational social dynamics through the categories of resources and distribution, policy, ideology, gender and media representations to discuss the many vectors through which power is exercised upon a globalizing population. Essayists in this session represent these scholarly interests through cultural sociological and cultural studies perspectives.
